Overwatch 2 is gearing up for an exciting collaboration with Gundam Wing, bringing iconic mech-inspired skins to heroes like Mercy, Reaper, and Soldier: 76. Fans can expect to see these stylish additions on April 29, although the pricing details remain under wraps for now.
Previously, Overwatch 2 delved into the anime world with skins from One-Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop, and My Hero Academia. The One-Punch Man collection showcased Saitama’s awe-inspiring strength in 2023. Then, in 2024, players could snag skins from Cowboy Bebop, taking inspiration from the thrilling space adventures of bounty hunters. That same year, Overwatch 2 introduced looks from My Hero Academia, channeling the heroic energy of Deku and friends. Now, with a new leak, we have a glimpse of what’s next in this anime crossover series.
Images shared by Reddit user -Elixo- have given us a sneak peek at the upcoming Gundam Wing skins. Mercy, for instance, will don the XXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero look, while Soldier: 76 transforms into OZ-00MS Tallgeese. Reaper gets the edgy XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe, and Ramattra will embody the formidable OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon. While Blizzard hasn’t officially confirmed these details, the leaks align with previous teasers about the new cosmetics.
Gundam Wing, originally airing in 1995, stands out with a gripping narrative of five scientists plotting revenge through advanced Mobile Suits. Key mechas include the Wing Zero, piloted by Heero Yuy, with Deathscythe and Tallgeese piloted by Duo Maxwell and Zechs Merquise, respectively. This partnership will bring some of these iconic elements to Overwatch 2, enticing both Gundam and FPS fans alike.
As we await further details about the crossover, including potential bundles or additional items like emotes and sprays, players can also explore other cosmetic gems like the Dokiwatch magical girl skins. While Blizzard remains tight-lipped, anticipation continues to build for this imaginative blend of gaming and anime culture.
